Within the Republican Party rumors are the RNC will resort to any
means to keep Donald Trump from becoming the GOP nominee.

Being touted is a Brokered Convention or a Rule Change before the 2016 Republican National Convention.

In 2012, Chairman Reince Priebus—changed rule 40 to make sure
Romney was the nominee, now it seems Preibus may be up to his old tricks to
insure Trump is not the nominee.

How Republican National Committee Rule No. 40(b) read before the 2012 convention changes:

“Each candidate for nomination for President of the United States
and Vice President of the United States shall demonstrate the support of a
plurality of the delegates from each of five (5) or more states, severally,
prior to the presentation of the name of that candidate for nomination. If a
candidate showed up at the convention with largest number of delegates from 5
states was entitles to have their name placed for nomination.

After the RNC changed rule 40 in 2012 to read:

The rule was changed to require a candidate to have a majority of delegate votes in at least eight states as a prerequisite to nomination. The
amended rule now poses a serious change in how the game is to be played in
2016. The rule cannot be changed until the delegates arrive at the convention
in 2016 and the Rules Committee convenes to establish the new rules of the
convention.

In 2011 the RNC issued a memo that ‘winner-take-all’ elections
will only be permitted when a candidate receives a majority of the votes cast
in the primary battle. It will be hard for a 2016 Republican candidate who
receives 49 percent of the vote in a “winner-take-all” state will not be permitted to get 100 percent of the state’s
delegates. Does that mean at the GOP convention a candidate with the requisite
eight states producing a majority of delegates supporting a candidate now
required to have one’s name placed into nomination, that it will not happen?

The 2012 amended rule will also change the way the primary game is
played.

Can the RNC change the rule again to avoid this problem?

According to the GOP rule book, the rule cannot be changed until the Republican National
Committee holds its convention meeting in 2016. The 2016 rules committee
gathering should have representatives from the many candidates still in the mix,
but anything can happen. The RNC may not wish to acknowledge their shenanigans
pulled in 2012, the big question is how it will affect the wheeling and dealing
between candidates, delegates and party bosses, even as the primaries continue.

Our forefathers pledged their lives, their fortunes and their scared honor to give us a Republic with Liberty and Freedom and Benjamin Franklin upon leaving the signing of the Constitution said "we have given you a Republic, if you can keep it." Can we keep it? Are we going to stand by and let the government we elected take away our Freedom and Liberties? FREEDOM MUST BE DEFENDED, NOW IS THE TIME and WE ARE THAT GENERATION!!! Semper Fi
